      "a": "Most schools have 2–3 rounds: an HR call, a demo lesson, then a leadership interview. Be ready to walk through one of your lesson plans and how you handle classroom management."
    },
    {
      "q": "Can I negotiate the salary at St. Arnold's School?",
      "a": "Yes — the band shown is a starting point. Schools consider your last-drawn CTC, teaching experience, board expertise (CBSE) and any specialist skills. Come prepared with a specific number and a 1-line justification."

    {
      "q": "Do I have to work weekends?",

    },
    {
      "q": "When does the school want the joining date to be?",
